Today I'll introduce the latest thing we're working on: AM AGA. So far, we have two keyboard styles in our lineup, namely CYBERBOARD, which has gone through several iterations, and AM HATSU, a wireless split ergo keyboard.

Spreading out the tooling costs over multiple keyboards can make these boards very cheap very quickly relative to their original price.
